Table 2

Tumor responses associated with different therapies evaluated by new Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECSIT).

Group	Cases (N)	CR (N)	PR (N)	SD (N)	PD (N)	ORR = CR + PR (N, %)	OSD = CR + PR + SD (N, %)
XCHD group	54	0	19	18	22	19 (35.2%)	37 (68.5%)
NM group	56	0	22	16	18	22 (39.3%)	38 (67.9%)
Combined group	42	2	18	11	9	20 (47.6%)	31 (73.8%)

XCHD: Xiao-Chaihu-Decoction; NM: naturopathic medicine; CR: complete remission; PR: partial remission; SD: stable duration; PD: progression disease. XCHD group, application of the addition and subtraction theory of TCM using Xiao-Chaihu-Decoction; NM group, receiving naturopathic medicine therapy; combined group, Xiao-Chaihu-Decoction combined with naturopathic medicine therapy.
